1: I agree with Gee. It would be a riskier experiment with greater potential.

2: One the one hand, yes, buton the other hand 2NE1 sound pretty damn American already on 'I Don't Care'. Who knows what sound they will go for. I'm hoping will.i.am won't just put down some tracks, but help them in promotion and get them a few deals. If they are put out there, and if they do get a nice sounding tune, they've got a bit of a unique look to them and some attitude, so nothing is impossible. It's a slightly better prospect than others who have tried.
